Airline Baggage Fees Comparison

Airline Baggage Fees Comparison

Airline baggage can be an absolute minefield. You’ll of course, know this if you’ve ever taken luggage on a flight before….

There’s no standard cabin allowance, no set weight for checked baggage and no typical charge for excess baggage. Each and every airline has its own set of rules – confusing rules – which makes it very difficult to know how much you can take with you on your flight and more importantly, how much it will cost.

To make life a little bit easier, we’ve rounded up the top UK airlines and outlined their checked baggage charges and excess baggage fees. With this handy chart, you can see how much you stand to pay for your luggage on each airline.

And if you want more information on any of the airlines, just click the links within the table.

As you can see from the table, most airlines provide affordable checked baggage costs. However, if you go over your allowance and are forced to book excess baggage, the overall cost of your journey can absolutely skyrocket.

Even if you’re flying with Easyjet, which has some of the cheapest checked and excess baggage charges, if you exceed your luggage allowance by even so much as 5kg, you can end up paying at least £77 for just one piece of luggage.
